#'no bone you cant keep em' 'WHY NOT??'

[birdsong-warriors]

So what I'm hearing is that Bone has this bedding specifically for his pain, but he gave it up for these cats he just met? 🥺

That is EXACTLY RIGHT. Tawny and Swift are gonna be adopted by the big gay dad and there is nothing they can do to stop him. uwu

OOH YEAH BABY ITS THE SURGERY EPISODE BABY!!! ME AND THE HOMIES NEED SOME NEW FACES FOR OUR NEW PLAN, AND WHO BETTER TO GET THE JOB DONE THAN THE TWO MOST EVIL PEOPLE WE'VE EVER HAD THE MISFORTUNE OF HAVING OUR LIVES VIOLATED BY? I MEAN IT WOULD BE FUNNY. IT WOULD BE FUNNY.

[raspberry-vinaigrette]

HEYY HI WAVES. i dont know if anyone has asked you before or if i should ask you but. do you have any tips for writing multi chapter things? like. making outlines n stuff! i have an idea for something i wanna do but i cant commit to one writing project blerrrghh....

OH JEEZ honestly im flattered you came to me haha!! that's so real honestly but ive found it really helps havin something or someone to hold you to it tbh. my current multichap fic is in part a gift so that feeling of "geez i really wanna make this gift" helps in a sense though honestly the obvious motivation of writing something you really love is my main motivator. i am CONSTANTLY thinking of ideas for misanthrapologist and jotting em down in a memo / google doc / whatever i have on hand or whatever works best for you. it's why misanthrapologist got a chapter increase !! i just keep having ideas man !! and i know thats easier said than done obviously but once you start writing ive found it really gets ideas flowing

which leads into my second point !! daily word goals! they dont have to be high -- in fact, i encourage you to keep them low! 400 words a day is a common one ive seen but honestly as long as you have *a* word goal, it doesnt matter. it might not sound like much, but it gets you writing! if you aren't feeling it you can always stop, but i've found once you hit the word goal, you're often in enough of a "flow state" to keep going! sprints also help -- there's a discord bot for it (sprinto, i think?) but you can also just do it by setting a timer on your phone! you just set a timer (usually 15 minutes is the average) and for that time you lock in on writing. doesn't matter how many words you get out as long as you get something on the page, and oftentimes that little push is all you need! i know timers sometimes make people panic, though, so if it doesn't work, it doesn't work :)

in terms of outlining, i'll be honest when i say my outlines are typically SUPER bare bones. for comfortember i'd write like one or two sentences for the basic plot and then go haywire while writing, and if i strayed from the original idea -- cool! for misanthrapologist it's the same jist -- i think the longest idea in my outline chapter-wise is like... three or four sentences. it helps me have that rough idea of what i want to happen while still not "chaining me down" to an idea, so to speak. lets my mind get creative without me having no idea where to go with the plot.

also for a more general tip -- don't get too caught up in your word count / chapter count / whatever else !! it happens to me too, but genuinely, word count does NOT matter as much as some people think it does. if a shorter chapter works better for your pacing? go for it! if you wanna combine two scenes in one chapter? hell yeah! if you wanna split one longer scene across a chapter for emotional impact? knock urself out man!!! do what makes YOU feel good about the fic, and you'll find that it's way more fun that way. :)

if they don't mind saying anything (no pressure to either of you), i'm sure my pals @wario-speedwagon and @springlucked have some good tips too, since they're more experienced in the field of multichap stuff haha. good luck with whatever you make -- i'm excited to see!!

"Tell me again about their traditions? You said it's called 'Christmas'?" "Yea, Christmas, real festive, all 'holly n' jolly', strings o' lights an' red an' green baubles, trees an' angels an' the like." Hansen plucks at his banjo as he answers Horus, watching while the priest decorates the temple with far less 'festive' decor. Celebrating a far different holiday at the end of the year, the church is decorated with skeletons, ivy, black candles, and gold: golden coins, golden jewelry, golden cloths- anything made with such a rich metal... "An' listen now! They don't go talkin' about death n' doom an' gloom or- or whatever it is you birdbrains go worshippin' all the time, so don't go creepin' anyone out! What, you wit yer bones n' death..." Horus huffs as he adjusts a strange-looking skeleton that's meant to depict the god he so worships: A dog standing on two legs with human hands, and it's skull is attached upside down... A very strange, somewhat disturbing holiday this is, it seems like.. "Oh Hansen, stop that! Just because you don't understand it, doesn't mean I'm not allowed to spread thankfulness and relief, too. Why, everyone has been telling me 'merry Christmas"! Cant I tell them 'Blessing of Lupis to you', too?" "No, Horus, y'caint. It's weird. It'll make em uncomfortable, an' they'll make you explain yerself over an' over again, an' both you an' I know y'dont want that, right? Not everyone wants t' know 'bout whatever it is you do, yer shovin' it down their throats an' that ain't right." Horus is quiet for a moment, clutching a black bear skull. He stares down at it and frowns, setting it on one of the display tables within the temple. "Ah... So I see. I suppose you're right. Well..." Horus takes out a fine golden chain and drapes it over the bones, then sets a golden coin between the teeth of the skull.

"Then I shall keep quiet about it. Perhaps I can learn more about the Christmas traditions this year."

DD2 Kingdom prediction(rambling

so from what we know so far about the lore of that game mode is that it takes place after your confession and not only are you keeping YOUR corruption at bay(main confession content), the corruptions of the Hamlet are also spreading(CC and weald areas) ((also beastmen which might be caused by Abom))

personal theories/prediction

yeah yeah i know DD2 isnt meant to be directly connected to DD1 or whatever but its my interpretation and im gonna interpret!!

i think DD2 might be a reality where The Ancestor doesnt send out the letter to the Heir or maybe the reality where the Heir dies/isnt able to help purge the evils of the hamlet. i think the two factions in DD1 that WOULD spread in the Heir's absence would be the weald and the crimson court, AND THE PIGS. this could explain why the caretaker is in the kingdom, he was essentially kicked out of the hamlet.

the crimson court was already spreading and it was high time that someone tries to open it up or just that they escape naturally.

the weald is basically just like, a mold spreading, and probably the largest area in DD1 already.

honestly the pigs are probably in the Kingdom bc all the treasure in the hamlet and they became more coveting, also explaining why Wilbur is so fucking big in DD2. he had to fight off all the other guys in the hamlet (CC and weald would probably give them the most trouble) and he cant rely on swine prince bc hes essentially bound to where he is.

i think the Shroud COULD be the same guys as the cove. both have the idea of regular guys turning into fishmen and having a god.

ALSO LEVIATHAN JUST LOOKS LIKE A GIANT ROIDED OUT PELAGIC GROUPER

but i dont think its the same guys, but i think there can be an argument for. because the cove guys didnt have to deal with the heros in DD, they could create the leviathan and spread via the sea.

i do not think the ruins guys have ANY reason to leave the ruins. the bone rabble can appear in any region, but other than that i dont see them doing other than reviving the dead. then again, that new area in the Inhuman bondage DLC kinda looks Ruins inspired but like, with slime. this could because the Weald's increased spread, but we dont really know the source of the slime rn

what about the brigands?? says the number one vvulf fan. honestly i dont think they are nearly strong enough to take on CC and the weald so they were probably wiped off the face of the map. but maybe the pillagers ARE the brigands, but reformed by the antiquarian. perhaps vvulf died trying to take the hamlet for himself(like what he does in DD1). and if they still do exist in the hamlet, its probably bc of the antiquarian before things got REALLY bad over there. after all she has no reason to go to the kingdom bc theres far more loot in the estate, but when things got too dicey she figured the kingdom was a far easier target

the reason why i dont think the pillagers are unrelated to the brigands is because of The Implication still has the family crests of the ancestor. and who would know the DIRECT quote of the ancestor than antiquarian?

now time for the main event. the farmstead. i feel like Farmstead is like the second most likely DD1 area to be released for the kingdom DLC 2/3 itll be a missed opportunity to not reuse em. the gate to the farmstead is weakening, and there HAVE been people who have gone

i think the farmstead probably is the only non darkest dungeon(location) location to be able to over power CC and Weald. not because the enemies are particularly strong, but because the shear number of them(although i dont think they can infect NEW people, but only people in the initial crash site)((i guess Thing From The Stars was starting to bind with a bunch of dead things, so maybe it just needs time)

time for the man of the hour. the Darkest Dungeon(location) or the thing under the manor(i always call it the heart but i think that just refers to the core of the thing, after all The Ancestor calls it nameless in the first dungeon mission) my prediction, if redhook is cool, then i believe that the heart would be the final Kingdom location added. and yea, the Thing would probably be the be the most infectious out of all of them.

[imlivinginyourtrashcan]

tell me your indus and Howie headcanons please

Aaa! Of course!!! I genuienly love Indus, so theres plenty for him! Sadly for Howie, not so much :( hes great but vv hard to hc for

INDUS TARBELLA:

He loves baking! You can walk into the kitchen seeing him covered in batter and trying to muscle open something with a barrier. (Mera has to help him open things)

Loud snorer, i cant explain WHY but i look at him and feel like he does snore loudly

His not so guilty pleasure is Disney movies; he'll have Mera watch them all with him. Its kinda cute seeing him giggle at everything like hes a child

You cant take him on rides at Disney tho, he'll scream. Mera learned that the hard way

Dog person. Loves the big does, and lizards! He'll come in with a handful of lizards and be like:

"Look at what I found, Lady Mera!" Indus declared proudly, offering his two hands forward to reveal a family of lizards.

Mera looked down at them both, raising a brow in confusion. Looking back up she sees Indus' childlike grin, "May I keep them??? Please???"

Mera sighed heavily "Indus, put them back..." Indus lowers his head "Awww.. "

Hes probably eaten anything that wasnt food, either by dumb curiosity or trying to protect Mera, sometimes its the other way around and Mera has to slap something out of his hands. Or comfort him when hes coughing out a bite of deodorant

Hes like a giant pillow. You will sink if you hug him, absolutely worth it.

On that note, he loves hugs! But will absolutely crush your bones! Just like that one bear pokémon

Music taste wise, i picture him listening to the Tarzan sound track, or whatever Mera's listening to (probably grungey stuff)

Has punched a scare actor in the face many times out of fear. Hes banned from several haunted houses and thene parks

His hair is ridiculously fluffy. I can sense it

HOWIE HONEYGLOW

Prone to burnout, sometimes he will pass out from being overworked, only to get back up and continue working

Has fucked up teeth from all the honeyed snacks

Secretly collects a lot of bee related things, like plushies

Rarely gives sick days or time off, you better either be dying or dead to not come in

Unpopular opinion, I dont think Howie's aro, but i do agree that he's ace.

Doesnt listen to music; either the bee movie or buzzing asmr is playing in his ears

Probably had a speech impediment, it comes out when hes angry

An artist! He's not all that good but hes TRYING

Knows the art of pinecone milking (Percy taught him)

I feel like this man would bite into a honeycomb and like it

On that note, he eats honey nut cheerios for breakfast every day

Always has water on hand for the fellas, cant let em dehydrate! He himself? Dehydrated as fuck

Also brings snacks for the fellas! He himself? Hungry but wont say anything

Favorite pokemon are all the bee ones

Nonbinary, uses He/they pronouns

Looks at least 30 from stressed and over working himself

His diet consists of only ceral, honeyed snacks and monster energy

At least he has good iron intake?????

Hope you enjoyed, anon!

[hostilemuppet]

ok so i didn't know who the rabbit was and went through the ragemption (?) tag and i LOVED IT. alexandrite is my favorite!!! but cpuld you explain a bit more about the please 🥺???

i would love to talk about regem it is my beloved brainchild 😈

regemption is the story ive been working on for several years (it turns 5 this june, which is scary to think about!) using a bastardised aesthetisised pop culture interpretation of christian mythology to talk about a lot of things, like morality and the concept of purity. i want to make it a webcomic some day, and it will be split into 5 "books", and an intermission story spread throughout

book 1: current title "heart and soul": follows jonah calinao, a 23 y/o depressed deadbeat who suffers a heart attack and goes to hell. somehow, they bounce back, because modern medicine is amazing, but this is the first time a human has ever seen the stony deep before being revived. satan (mostly referred to as "boss") sends one of her lackeys to "take care of them" and bring them back and thus maintain the natural order. she picks jade (representative of envy, middle of the road when it comes to sinners) who, upon seeing earth for the first time, isnt exactly that keen on going back. so jade makes a deal with jonah: she wont kill them if they at least TRY and get their shit together. which is a pretty cushy deal, all things considered! except jades situationship from hell (in the most literal context) isnt happy that her best-friend-slash-longtime-crush is mingling with the humans. especially when zircon decides that jade and jonah have gotten pretty close 🤔

book 2: "blood and bone": follows isaac bonner, a 25 y/o rich kid dissatisfied with life. when his on-again-off-again (mostly off) girlfriend dies, he considers ending it all, but is interrupted by what he considers divine intervention. it is, of course, from the other place. bloodstone convinces him that killing himself would be such a waste, he should just hand over his soul instead, and let someone with a will to go on take the wheel. initially unconvinced, she shows him all of her plans, why shes on earth and what she plans to do, and it might just be the adrenaline rush he needs to keep on living

book 3: "hope and pray": follows mary santoro, 24 y/o, jonahs ex-roommate (roommate through the first half of book 1. dont worry about it), nicest person youll ever meet. shes always had a passion for music, but passion rarely pays the bills, which she has a lot of. during one of her many dayjobs, she meets a few very odd individuals who are, for some reason, adamant that she has to join their band. even though its not the type of music she likes, they wear her down, and she agrees to at least check em out, but she soon realises that theyre not human, but they need her help. and one thing about mary is she can never turn someone down, no matter how much she wants to

book 4: "flesh and blood": follows jacob bonner (isaacs younger brother) and his best friend levi abraham as they uncover just what isaac had gotten up to the past few months. and why their cellar is suddenly locked up tight, with no key in sight. or why jacob frequently wakes up to screaming, only sometimes his own. or why their "new friend" looks so familiar, and whether levis right not to trust her

book 5: "survive and thrive": everything comes together. the culmination of the previous four books, with an epilogue to deal with anything that wasnt tied up in a neat little bow

intermissions: follow ruby and zebra jasper as they seek violent, glittery revenge on the one who wronged them, aided by pyrite, who jasper just cant seem to convince ruby is bad news

alexandrite is a minor character in book 1 (even though demons dont have families the way we do, alex and jade consider themselves as close to sisters as they can get), a supporting character in book 2, and should be a major character in book 5.

[ratsoh-writes]

hai!!! one match up please ^^ (ty btw as like a pre-added ty!! ur cool)

personality traits: im super loyal, nice and goofy, weakness has gotta be how im constantly sleepy, lack of social awareness, and im indecisiveness

Deal breakers/pet peeves: gotta be suddenly getting cold and rude. like a random 180?? HATEE THOSE. another pet peeves gotta be when someones eating and they keep SMACKING ON THIER FOOD RAAAH-

traits that i likey: TALL PEOPLE>>>, glasses are also like awooga, dark/edgy(?) aesthetics are SOO COOL I LOVETHOSE STYLES. they gotta be nice tho, or at least not overly rude like can take a hint to knock it down a peg!!

Hobbies!: ART. (main reason why im sleepy 2 bc i onlydo art at night ;-::), cooking/baking and GAMING bc im a GAMER.

Favorite items!: my headphones omg i cant go without em i heart music, my tom nook pillow!!!, my slowly growing pin collection, and ps5 bc it has overwatch and i need my overwatch-

Hmmm alright, yours was a bit tricky but I think I’ve got the right guy! I match you with… HOOK! Seafell sans!

While he isn’t the tallest, hook definitely has that edgy dark style down if you like a pirate theme! Plus hook is a HUNK. He looks great under those clothes, and he knows how to use that pretty body of his ;)))

Hook is a fell monster, he can be aggressive with people, but with friends and his SO hes more like a goofy pit bull. Deep down hook is just a silly nerd who wants someone to tease and be besties with. He’d definitely be able to match your own playful energy

You like art? So does hook. He’s OBSESSED with the renaissance period of art! And he likes other eras too, but they’re his favorite. Hook tends to lean towards artistic SOs as well for this reason. He sadly doesn’t have a single artistic bone in his body, so he has to live through his skilled friends instead. He’ll always geek out over whatever you make.

One thing hook loves to do to his SOs is just casually carry them around if they let him. So expect yourself to be treated as a living stuffed animal lol.

[useless-catalanfacts]

This song has become very popular in Catalonia. I hadn't translated it before because its lyrics are full of jokes and colloquialisms so it's difficult to translate, but I really wanted to share it.

The Tyets is a Catalan band that makes trap and reggaeton-ish music, but in this song they've incorporated a cobla (traditional ensemble of sardanes, considered the national music/dance of Catalonia) to their urban song. You can hear the characteristic instruments and beat of the sardana in the chorus.

It's quite common among Catalan pop and rock bands to use traditional instruments (mostly the gralla/dolçaina) and some traditional forms of singing (mostly cant valencià d'estil), but sardanes had so far been left out of this because they're often negatively stereotyped as old-fashioned and its popularity among elderly people made it unappealing to the younger generations. However, turns out the familiarity of these sounds still rings close to our hearts, and people (regardless of age) can't help it but to dance when they hear it!

The translation is under the cut.

The lyrics are light-hearted and use a lot of colloquialisms and slang, they joke about gossiping. The title (coti x coti) would be translated to "gossip 4 gossip", but using a slang word for "gossip".

No ho puc evitar, ja no sé com fer-ho

M'ha arribat a les mans, un coti ben salsero

Que ha mogut tot el mercat, no me'l puc treure del cap

Si vols aquest secret, doncs per tres l'has de canviar.

I can't help it, I don't know how to keep it anymore

A very juicy gossip has reached my hands

It has shaken all the market, I can't get it out of my head

If you want this secret, you'll have to exchange it for three others.

Chorus:

No en vull saber res

Intento no creuar-te la mirada

No em crec històries inventades

De tu ja no em puc creure res.

I don't want to know anything about it.

I try not to make eye contact with you

I don't believe made up stories

I can't believe anything you say anymore.

-

Ahir em vaig trobar l'Aleix i em va dir que tenia cotis

Posseïa info, tenia bones refes

No sabia perquè, però s'ajuntaven les notis

El mercat está palmant i tu estàs holding

Yesterday I ran into Aleix and he told me that he had gossip

That he owned info, he had good references

He didn't know why, but news were stocking up

The market is croaking and you're holding.

Tira la manta, peli de terror

No vulguis correr a la sort del traïdor

I esque et miro davant de la platja i em dius que no, que no

Throw the blanket, horror movie

You better not want to run a traitor's end

And I look at you in front of the beach and you tell me no, no.

Que no ho pots evitar, ja no saps com fer-ho

T'ha arribat a les mans, un coti ben salsero

Que ha mogut tot el mercat, no te'l pots treure del cap

Si vols aquest secret, per tres l'hauràs de canviar

That you can't help it, you don't know how to keep doing it

A very juicy gossip has reached you

Which has shaken all the market, you can't get it out of your head

If you want this secret, you'll have to exchange it for three others.

Repeat chorus.

VISCA!

Hurray! (Note: sardana dances end by all the dancers holding their hands to the middle and shouting "visca!" together)

[transbeeduo]

ever since my fat cbee posts i have been on a roll [hi hello im the fat cbee anon here to say ive been sending so many anon asks its so funny but youve just got my brain rolling so much. 10/10 would anon again. always get addicted to my favorite blogs and send like 10 anons a week. dang it. i see a pattern.] anyway im not every single anon, but a chunk of em, yeah! love sending anons about my brain juices late at night and waking up and reading answers n stuff. always fun.

anyway hi can you imagine a Michael who is very much so malnourished when cbee first find him in the Nether. and like his ribs are showing and theres so many bones showing, which isnt a joke because he literally has a hole in his head where you can see his skull and see his bones n stuff. and when cbee takes him home Tubbo and Ranboo make sure to feed him so so much and food he enjoys and stuff. because Tubbo was malnourished as a kid and it was Not Fun. and Ranboo doesnt know much but they sure do know they dont like the look of rib cages peeking through skin and bony arms and gaunt faces [thats why they keep their fur long enough that it covers their ridges and bumps before they gain weight but also not too long because it is considered 'unruly' to have long fur, at least back when they were a child in the End (thats one of the only fragments they remember. think of it like the stigma around body hair on women/fem people.)]

and so eventually Michael starts gaining healthy weight, and all of a sudden, the bones that arent supposed to be visible through his skin [not the holes. hes part zombie i know but zombies aren't supposed to be really thin when someone is only part zombie.] and Tubbo and Ranboo have to find new dresses* and sweaters and pants n stuff for Michael because he's actually growing! i imagine he might be a bit stunted, not quite reaching his full height because of the lack of nutrients he had during a very important development stage for gods know how long, but he does grow, and thats all that matters. hes got healthy chub and hes not so fragile anymore.

*imagining cbee as parents who buy whatever clothes are cute and fit their children, completely ignoring the fact that dresses and skirts are traditionally girl clothes because have you seen the two. those are not cis and whoever thinks they are are silly. they let their children pick out whatever clothes they find cute and comfortable. so if Michael or Wizard or Bug [do Wizard and Bug even wear clothes... thats a weird question but i mean. only ever seen Bug with fur n stuff but no clothes.. whatever] wanna wear a pretty pink skirt or a t-shirt with monster trucks on it, cbee dont care. this is also partly because Tubbo and Ranboo werent entirely allowed to wear whatever they wanted when they were younger [mainly Tubbo but still] and they want their children to have to choice to pick

HAIIII ANON THIS ASK IS SO GOOD THANK YOU (also yes bug does infact wear clothing! Just their ref doesn’t have clothing LMAO i promise Beeduo give their kids clothing)

BUT YEAH THIS IS HONESTLY REALLY FUCKING CANON TO ME there’s NO way that Michael was getting properly fed in the Nether considering it was literally BY HERSELF and ALSO A BABY. And Tubbo would TOTALLY have that like “oh fuck i cant give this baby the same childhood of being malnourished that i had” thought yk (ranboo not realizing they’re malnourished makes me so sad but is so fucking accurate wow) this ask rules thank you

[tri-poke]

The Professor says, "Thank you friend, thank you," as Zach gives his water to the panting lead. "And I dare say you are correct on all counts but two and there's good thinking in your fine skull, behind your speaking.

"Allow me to gently correct you before I give you thanks again. It is not your drive I'm racing toward, it's to Clerrihul. And I thought your drive was a dust storm I had to beat afore I-"

Stammers gives a sharp, bully's guffaw. "Ain-Ain't Zach whose got it wrong. Ya-you can't get ta - you can't ge- you can't get to Clerrihul this way. There was a rockslide at the pass. And that's more than a couple days travel back we - more than - it's more than - we passed it a few days back. You're gonna have to ride around back the way you came from."

"Oh, dear," Professor Jagadishor says, looking more than a little in his sweating features like it is a much bigger deal than an 'oh, dear' can cover.

The giant dino pushes its hot tongue against Zach's empty waterskin hopefully for even that one more drop.

Jagadishor says, "It's my mother who's sick in the freehold around Clerrihul and with me now a grown and learned man of science and medicine and spirituality, I couldn't leave her in the hands of some local saw-bones who had to come all the way out to the wilds just to find patients. If she were younger or less I'll... but - no - if I have to - you sure it's all blocked up? The way to Clerrihul?"

Stammers fidgets, clearly a little less ok about guffawing at a man with a sick mother.

Revolver somehow manages to smooth the gruffness out of his gravelly voice as he says, "Sure as stone. You are too big. A cryptovaranoides could get through. You might climb over. But that-" he jerks his chin to the two story building on wheels and then shakes his head like he is sorry to hear of the freshly known mother's death.

Jagadishor turns his head as if trying to look behind him but there's nothing possible to see around the sheer girth of his building on wagon wheels.

"I may need to stand corrected twice then," the professor says, his voice still booming as if he never learned to talk to an individual person. "The Wellspring Waterskin would certainly be the better choice for me. I got enough water in the shop for my lovelies-" he twitches the reigns just enough so the paints cant their heavy heads on their long necks to eye him sadly - "to keep 'em healthy to the end of the race the way I was going but sure not enough to go back and take the long road around.

"With the Wellspring Waterskin I would have enough and more for my lovelies. And if even asingle ant could make it through the rockfall, why, with my knowledge of science and all that water, I could move a mountain, let alone a few stones.

"Now that I think on it, proper like a man with time and education, I might not even need to if the right manner of stones fell. Sure - yes - " he squints like he is somehow seeing a window into another place, maybe even into another world like the one Gruiser came from and seeing it grow ever clearer like a fog clearing away. "With just a few items I might even have in the shop... I might use such a stone, if it were around here somewheres - to lift us over the butte and not have to go even so far as the rockfall, all it would need is power. If I could carry a river in my pocket it would be nothing at all - just simple science and a bit of mathema - but, no - " he looks down sadly and all the paints bend their heads even more wearily in response. "There's not even a river, let alone one I could fit in my pocket.

"The harder truth, once we're past philosophizin and pondering the unique possibilities presented us by the impossible in experimentational mentation, we must accept that old wisdom of HrásknÖrin the Hospitable that, when all is said and done, there is nothing in this world of Mesmerism but illusions, lies, and the true science that old sailors bring home with them along with a misunderstanding. I neither have the waterskin that never runs out of water nor have been so fortunate to run into you, who is smart enough to see its value because the situation is much more disappointing. Widow-Maker's sarcophagus holds none of the four relics, there are no relics in the first place, just fireside tales, and hopped up bastards trying to make something of them to prove they deserve the plushness beneath their fattened buttocks. So there's not even a Widow-Maker to have a sarcophagus made for him."

Demon-Tooth whips her head up and gives an angry hoot of annoyance like an unholy mother of a rex-fly has bitten her under the feathers and snaps her teeth, making the whole lizzie team of giants rustle in nervousness just as the Professor wraps up his speechifying with, "Because there wasn't even ever an Arthur Eld real enough to go searching through mesmeric lies. It's a dull world, though I try to fix it. Not one true piece of mesmerism. And there'll be even less o' such mythic stuff when my mother, no, I tell you the apotheosis of mothers, such a saint and blessing she was to my life and all the lives of those who know... knew her, is gone. It might all just be too much."

He covers his face with his hands. Not crying. Not even shaking. Just sort of trying not to look at anything, let alone whatever window into other realities he seems to imagine he sees past them out toward the drive.

[aroace-cat-lady]

2 and 6?

uhhh not sure which one you want eme to answer, so im gonna do all of them.

Water:

its chemical structure makes it perfect as universal solvent. It has the ability to form hydrogen bonds, that are really important when you start talking about protein structures, and it just has multiple physical qualities that makes it one of the most important biomolecules in living systems: thermoregulation, its density, dipolar moment, superficial tension, osmolarity, etc,

Enzymes:

These are protein catalysts. Their work is to make break, form, or change specific molecules in the speed the body needs them. Without them, there is no way the body could keep up the chemical reactions in time (it would take too long) They have very specific structure: a protein part, a no protein part (coenzyme or cofactor) an an active site, thats shape to fit with one particular molecule, and if its altered, the enzyme cant work anymore.

Vitamins:

They work as coenzymes, which means are needed in most of the reactions that keep the body moving. I already answered what happens when theres a deficiency here.

Proteins:

These are the most variant biomolecules of living systems. They have multiple function, thats determinate by their final structure. But they share some similarities in the basic structures, so that's why they are put together. The way their work and the reasons what they are needed are very diverse, and they can go from giving the body the right structure (ej collagen: skin, bones, tendons, blood vessels, etc) or bonding with other molecules to take them somewhere else (ej hemoglobin: takes the oxygen to the rest of the tissues)

Electrons Transport Chain:

This one it's responsable of the production of H2O and the liberation of the hydrogen molecules that will make the ATP synthase (enzyme ;)) start working and produce ATP, thats the main energy generator molecule.

Well. Thanks anon.

suna akaashi osamu and kenma would eat you so LAZILY but so GOOD i- they would take turns changing every time they realized you were reaching your orgasm they would do everything SO SLOW teasing you omg just when you’re a begging mess and cant stop crying to cum they would fuck you hard, fuck you sooo dumb pls imagine akaashi holding your legs holding you still and playing with one of your breasts while osamu plays with the other, suna using his tongue on your clit while kenma uses his gamer fingers on your entrance...

It’s the way I choked on my mf coffee like DAMN ANODHAKWHWOA okay y’all hold on. —

warnings: 5some, fem reader, dom/sub dynamics, edging and overstim, titty suckin, messy pussy eatin, one slap, degrading.. 🤤

Akaashi is the leader here. Always will be in charge, especially when your involved. Although he’s not a strict dom, he’s still stern with each order. You sit in his lap, his thighs hooked over yours to keep them spread apart for the boys. Every time you twitch them a little closer he only brings them further apart, a swift swat to your breast being enough to get you to behaviour again. He nuzzles your ear constantly, murmuring praise and filth into your ear as he watches the boys all over your body.

That’s it baby, taking all this teasing. Daddy’s gunna let you come soon. Promise. Be good and hold on a little longer. You’ll do it for me, wont you Angel?

Osamu 🤝 oral fixation. He would suck on your precious tits for hours if he could. He loves feeling your heart thump aggressively against his head, lips latched onto your pretty nipple. His tongue teases over it a couple times before he goes back to suckling, his other hand massaging out your neglected breast. He’ll get to it, just likes to take his time, make sure the plane of your chest is throughly covered in hickeys and spit before moving onto the next one. He also loves that your trembling little hands are locked in his sliver locks, tugging on it each time you jolt or get closer to your release, it only reminds him to suck a little harder, murmur into your skin.

Fuck baby, yer fuckin delicious ya know that? These perfect fuckin tits look good enough to eat covered up in ma marks, don’t ya think?

Suna is a lazy pussy eater. He knows it. You know it. The rest of the boys know it. But that’s why he does it, because he also knows you like being edged on, like being lazily lapped at, his narrowed gaze always starin up at you as he slowly presses his flattened tongue along your quivering cunt. He prods at your clit with his tongue, never really putting enough pressure to push you off the edge, just enough to keep you whining, squirming, basically crying. His lips will loosely wrap around when your clit when it starts to throb, his nose gently brushing into your pubic bone as a sign of affection before he starts to suck. Won’t stop until your actually crying, hips straining into Akaashi’s hold to try and arch for more.

Pretty little baby, so whiney, so needy… gunna suck this little clit for hours just to see your eyes roll back.

Kenma. Oh Kenma. King of Degrading you to filth, King of thin, lean fingers that manage to poke into every singe one of your sweet spots. He’s grinning at you, wrist pumping into your walls and allowing your slick to dribble past the rings he wears because it’s just so cute how your cunt clenches his fingers like they’re a cock. It’s so cute how you always get so close to coming before he’s pulling his fingers free, showing everyone your arousal before licking it lewdly. It happens once, twice.. you lose count before he finally sinks his soiled fingers into your mouth to shut you up, two fresh fingers sinking into your gaping hole and making him groan in delight.

What a little whore, creamin all over my fingers and you haven’t even gotten fucked yet. Cmon, keep suckin on my fingers, clean em off good and then maybe Kaashi will let ya come. Probably not, you just look so fucking cute like this.

I will be knocked tf out from this ask for at least two weeks 🤤🥴

[mxttellion]

Pat headcannons. Hand em over RN pal- 🔫

(jsjfjdjfj obviously you don't have to RN but whenever you can or want to :D

YOU ASKED FOR IT so. i gotta. it's a promise

...well, read after the read more, it's gonna take a while. (/j)

*cracks knuckles*

alright it's just gonna be a dump of everything i have so far, with some that are related to my own universe and others that are mostly related to some kind of canon adjacent au where he's part of the army, but a lot of them tend to overlap, ill try to find a middle ground between the two- also good thing if you remember that post i made a while ago about some hcs, it's useful

- Full name? Patryck Kedzierski-Hopperstad. got both surnames from his parents. But ends up just using his first one

-He's 185 cm tall, the tallest of his group;

-Uses He/They, and kinda prefers neutral terms over masc, but ultimately doesn't mind both. He's also bi.

- He's incredibly optimistic! Just an overall solar guy! He can be snearky and kind of an asshole, pushing people's buttons on purpose, but mostly does it out of playful blanter rather than actual malice. (Plus, he finds reactions to his jokes/jabs incredibly funny). He may also give you a funny nickname in the process. He's incredibly passionate about the stuff he does, and also can be very reckless, which isnt really a good thing for his health. But you only live once, so better make the best out of it, especially after being sheltered! Oh, he gets offended easily, and may try to strangle you if you comment his hair. Pat can also be incredibly reckless and stubborn. He'd jump from high heights just to prove he can fall on his feet and then break his ankle in the process. In the rp he sprained his ankle and didnt want any help. He can do this on his own, duh – the reckless will come back later..

- He has like. 34 illnesses and allergies. from asthma, to dust allergy, to lactose intolerance, ibs, migraines, general weakness, frequent insomnia, scoliosis, chronic sneezes, glass bones and paper skin, sensitive skin to the sun, had diverticulosis, appendicitis, tonsillitis and is probably allergic to bees, has shit sight but refuses to wear glasses, short term memory loss. He also most likely lacks a liver. No one knows where it went. And he rightfully cant stand the smell of smoke lol

Also yes, he's stressed, doesnt want to show it, he will internalize it and then get crows feet (which is what those two lines under his eyes are.) Also he can faint on command.

-Hes half polish and half norwegian, and has an younger sister by two years, called Brygida.

They and Pat get along extremely well, they're a dynamic and dangerous duo! After all, they had to support each other during their childhood. Brygida is the complete opposite of Pat: but she also was the one who introduced him to a bunch of stuff he ended up enjoying. Like boy bands.

-His relationship with their parents is..rather complicated, to say the least. They were incredibly overprotective during his childhood, sheltering him from everything that could even be slightly dangerous for his fragile health. You could find him peeking from his room window at times, just to see other kids playing. But also, despite that, he was still the oldest child, and being such, they has high standards for his education and controlling of his career path and interests: at some point, he'll end up arguing with them just to let him get to the college he wanted to, a technology related one, and almost risks to get disowned, with tension rising and them not even bothering to call him once he moves away. Also yeah, Pat had to hide a lot of interests and keep them a secret from them, you know, just in case.

- Brygida was the one who got him to find friends in his life (and in my hc universe, the one who introduced him to Paul)

- he has a pocket switchblade knife with him for some reason, it's orange and there are kawaii stickers plastered on it. Don't ask why.

-lol autistic moment, of course. His special interest are planes and anything related to flight, along side IT. Oh, how can i forget: He's a 90s boy! He's stuck in that era. You may find it constantly gushing about his favorite boybands and members he has a crush on. He owns an orange nokia 3310 which HAS never been changed and refuses to change. owns a n64 aswell, and keeps claming that his haircut is a 90s popular haircut for men. give em the benefit of the doubt.

-regarding the autism part, he was also diagnosed late. just to add a bit more of pressure from also his parents, who never got why he would shut down and feel overly pressured. Especially during school. Straight As and all that junk.

- he vapes. (i stole this from a friend lmao) despite having asthma. this person is a mystery 

-Shit at driving, shit at shooting. He's got the whole package. Despite being in the army, he can't use guns for shit, and more than once ended up getting everyone around him in danger (mostly Paul. He did hit him in the face more than once.) He has a license but honestly, He doesnt even know how they got it themselves. Probably still out of luck

-He's somehow the science guy of the group, the one with more of a broader knowledge on more scientific stuff- with him taking notes on notebooks about his findings

- RA HCS!!! uh. He's the latest addition to it. He joined rather late compared to the others (Tord, Paul, Yuu and Yanov) and he almost joined as a joke at first, only to get accepted inside for some reasons. At first he was recruited as a substitute pilot for Yanov, as he was unavaliable at the time (broken arm lol), with Paul automatically becoming his co pilot, despite his COSTANT wishes to not get involved with a newbie. Yes, the plane he crashed in The Snogre was one of his first planes, and SOMEHOW managed to not get demoted and kicked on the spot.

- The fact that he cant personalize his army outfit drives him insane. also his favorite color is orange.

-Keeps a notebook where they write all the stuff he needs to remember. His memory isn't exactly the best, and has regrettably forgotten some important stuff but not malicious intent behind it. It's just a problem he has with his own memory. They also keep a page with all the stuff his friends - family like, dislike, how they would like to be approached and stuff. In that way he never forgets.

LMAO I probably do have more lying around somewhere, but I just cant recall right now AND this post is way too long already. Maybe just ask me about them lmao

[daily-fantasy-ideas]

So roses, most everyone likes a rose right? It just makes sense to have them in your fantasy setting, maybe even give em a few new impossible colours that ones in the real world cant have.

And why not have some imitation roses, plants that via natural selection or genetic modification and domestication have been made to look like roses. And while yes there could be an interesting story about finding who's selling people fake roses, I feel it'd be much more interesting to give said fake roses interesting or supernatural effects...

What if one of the fakes when planted acted like a weed spreading a vast web of roots through the ground searching and sapping other plants of their nutrients and water eventually sprouting new roses from its web of roots with the hope that they'll also be plucked from the earth by unsuspecting humans to planted somewhere else so that the cycle may continue again.

Oh and maybe they don't necessarily have to be planted, maybe just being left in some dirt for a short enough period will let them start to spread

And why not go further with that idea, instead of merely being rose weeds why not have them be actively supernaturally parasitic.

While simply existing around outside of the ground have them slowly syphon the very life out of things around them keeping themselves looking as healthy and fresh as ever. Hell, why not even have the fact that they maintain that freshly picked look be a way for less-than-scrupulous sellers to market them.

Well now for the final spookiest final 'roses but kinda messed up' idea.

Imagine a massive bed of roses close the ground. The flowers are vibrant deep red in colour and are so numerous and voluminous that they look like you could jump in and get lost in them.

Amongst this bed are a few patches of uncovered land looking like islands amidst the ocean of surroundings roses.

On one of these islands lays a sleeping fawn, although its island looks a little different to the others. The rest are for the most part clean and relatively wide open spaces circular with only some of the plants breaking in. The one which the fawn lays upon however is far more messy looking with plants falling into the island some even laying over the fawns sleeping form.

Days pass the island and the fawn are gone.

Escaping hunters a wild bore runs, scrambling down a hill to a quiet and little know area, before it's mind can calm and check the surroundings of where it has escaped to it runs and trips hoof first into the roses.

Within moments it too vanishes into the roses, its thorn-like fang ripping through its body spilling its blood over them and the ground to drink and gain nutrients from. Whatever remains of the bore will be dragged deep underground to help hide any evidence of this being anything other than a slightly odd bed of roses.

And now for a totally different tone as I info dump about these vampire roses I made up.

Because of the whole drinking the blood of their victims thing, I'd imagine that if one of these began to wither that its petals would start to oxide and turn a rusty orange.

I'd also imagine that thorn fang things they have on their stems would suck blood, meaning that if someone angrily grips the stems of a boutique of these things in a moment of heated emotion it's entirely possible that instead of just having a bloody hand in a moment a of drama they'll just be passed out of from blood loss.

Also, I'd imagine that in places where people know about how these roses work they could probably find a way to use the petals or bulbs for medical purposes. Although it might be frowned upon a little due to the whole "these might have eaten a person" thing.

Oh and at some point if there's too much blood flowing through the roses plant veins and the ground and plants are oversaturated I think the collective magical spirit of the plant would make a weird plant creature using the bones of something it dragged under as a base for its form, which'd then scamper offer somewhere else to plant it's biomass to form a new patch.

They'd also do something similar to create humanoid rose knight creatures who either defend the plants from potential threats or capture new blood to drink if they're thirsty.

Oh and maybe the rose knights would eventually just get bored and wander off to go do its own thing, feasting on blood as it roams the land.

Speaking of blood, vampires would definitely be all about these roses and would definitely be eating their bloody rose hips and drinking tea made with their petals.

They'd also exclusively fuel the roses with blood from people, hell they'd probably have a balcony that hangs just over a bed of them so that that they can dramatically push/scare victims over the edge so that they fall into the roses to be devoured.

Also because vampires would definitely find a way to weaponize the roses as a way to be extra dramatic.

The main way I think they'd do it is by specifically breeding and domesticating a variety to function as a whip which instead of roots just has a very long very flexible very resilient very thorny stem.

Another way would be by having the plant grow around one of their arms and training it to respond to certain magical signals letting them strike out with what are effectively rose tentacles that allow the user to tear apart or grab whatever they wish.

Using these weapons would of course take a toll on the users requiring them to drink more blood than usual so that the weapons they wield don't drain them dry.

Oh and yeah that plants are domesticated but there should still be a big risk with using them.

So why not have that risk be the possibility of the plants slowly invading and possessing the body of the vampire using them in search of more blood, turning them into a possibly eternally suffering plant-controlled husk.

Or maybe just have them kill the vampire using them normally idk.
